Long-Term Running Goals:

I love to run!  I want to feel good and run for a very long time.

Personal:

My husband Brent and I live in Orem with our three kids ages 12, 10 & 7.  Brent is a Marriage and Family Therapist and I'm at home with the kids.  I used to be a CPA, but now I just do a little bookkeeping from home.  For a lot of years running a marathon was something I did to get back in shape after having a baby.  Just finishing was accomplishment enough, now I want to finish faster.

I ran the St. George Marathon in 3:18 when I was 18 and set a record for my age division 15-18.  Now I train with the girl who broke my record.  I love the marathon and half marathon.   Long runs are what keep me from going crazy.

Time to start blogging again. After multiple procedures in the spring I finally got my female problems taken care of. I had an ablation April 28 and haven't bleed since. I think one of the many medications I took screwed me up and I've had a lot of muscle cramps and tightness ever since.

I'm still having a problem where my right leg feels like blood is not circulating to it. I can only run less than a mile before my leg feels weak/exhausted and starts to cramp. My foot tingles and feels like it's falling asleep. I've finally figured out where the tightness is coming from. I have to run 2 miles really slow stopping every half mile to rub and stretch before I can really run.

Ran AF Canyon today with melanie Jane Julie and others. The first two miles was miserable, stopped a lot, was way far behind, and almost turned around at the cave 2 miles in. Then I started feeling pretty good and actually had an ok run. 7 1/2 miles up at average 8:13 pace. Came down 6:23 pace. Average at end 7:17 pace.

I'm running bryce canyon next week. No time goal. I really hope I can just do it without stopping.
